Thrown out of the house, the wet nurse enters the noble household and becomes a person of high statu

"The prince consort... he's lucky."

"But who the child's father is doesn't matter; as long as the mother is me, that's enough."

That's what the eldest princess said.

Seeing that her lips were pale again, Liu Wenying couldn't help but advise, "This servant is grateful for Your Highness's heartfelt words, but Your Highness should rest now."

The eldest princess chuckled, "Alright."

Liu Wenying covered her with the blanket and was about to leave.

The promise from the eldest princess came from behind.

"I will remember your life-saving grace."

Liu Wenying stopped and turned around. The princess had already closed her eyes and was breathing heavily.

She smiled and quietly slipped away.

Giving birth is a life-or-death ordeal, but raising a child is no easier task either.

The eldest princess was not in good spirits after giving birth and often lost her temper with her husband.

They either smash plates or break bowls; they either find him an eyesore or a nuisance.

The prince consort had no way to express his suffering, and could only sigh and groan when no one was around, looking like a quail that had been soaked by the rain.

On this day, the prince consort was once again expelled from the Huiyin Palace by the princess for stepping into the palace with his left foot first.

Liu Wenying handed the medicine to her personal maid and went to the prince consort.

"Your Highness, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."

The prince consort looked at her; her face was weary.

She was a lady-in-waiting appointed by the eldest princess, and also a great heroine who ensured the safety of mother and child.

In front of the eldest princess, she might even have more face than I do.

"Lady Liu, please speak."

"Postpartum women experience significant mood swings due to physical changes, becoming easily irritable and easily angered. Your Highness did not intend to take your anger out on you."

"After ten months of pregnancy, Your Highness endured the pain of morning sickness, the discomfort of a swollen body, and the near-death experience of childbirth before giving birth to two little princes."

The hardships she endured are beyond a man's comprehension. As her husband, you should be more accommodating. As her health improves, her temperament will naturally return to normal.

After hearing this, the prince consort understood and said with a relieved tone, "Lady Liu is absolutely right. I was confused. Zhao Ning suffered so much; what are my little grievances compared to that?"

Since then, the prince consort has become increasingly tolerant. No matter how much the princess throws a tantrum, he always coaxes her gently and patiently, letting her hit and scold him without getting angry in the slightest.

All I ask is to bring some joy to the Princess and help her recover soon.

I thought things would gradually settle down, but a few days later, another problem arose.

The two young princes were cared for by carefully selected wet nurses. The eldest princess was weak after giving birth and did not breastfeed them herself.

Her breast milk became engorged, causing unbearable pain and keeping her awake at night, sweating profusely.

Seeing this, the palace maids hurriedly asked the imperial physician to try to clear the blockage using the old methods.

The method not only failed to work, but also aggravated the pain, causing the princess to drive away all the palace servants.

Liu Wenying rushed over upon receiving the news. "Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Wenying, my chest is throbbing with pain, please help me."

After Liu Wenying finished her inspection, she gave instructions to the maid.

"Quickly fetch a basin of warm water, and also a few clean, soft cloths. The water temperature should not be too hot or too cold; it should be lukewarm enough to not burn your hands."

The maidservant hurriedly obeyed and left. Liu Wenying helped the princess sit up slowly and placed a soft pillow under her.

Before long, a maid brought something, and Liu Wenying applied the wet cloth to it, changing it repeatedly.

Wait until your skin gradually warms up and relaxes before removing the towel.

Her massage pressure was just right, and her movements were very professional.

After several massages, the congestion was relieved, and the swelling and pain were significantly reduced.

The palace servants who were driven out felt a greater sense of gratitude and respect for Liu Wenying.

If it weren't for her repeated solutions to the problems, they would have inevitably suffered considerable punishment.

A month later, it was time for the two little princes' full moon celebration.

Having twins, a dragon and a phoenix, symbolizes good fortune and is a joyous occasion.

The eldest princess held a full moon celebration at her residence outside the palace.

It was called a banquet, but it was more like a small celebration.

The mansion gates were wide open, and nobles from all over the capital flocked to the door, with carriages carrying gifts lining the streets from one end to the other, completely blocking the way.

Unlike the bustling front yard, the backyard was much quieter.

Liu Wenying and a group of wet nurses were gathered around the cradle, discussing what kind of swaddling clothes to wrap the two little princes today.

Several luxurious swaddling clothes were placed on the table, all made of the finest brocade, adorned with gold and silver threads, and with round pearls inlaid at the corners.

"This is a new tribute from Qingzhou this year, woven with gold thread and cloud patterns; it's only fitting for His Highness!"

"Kesi (silk tapestry) is truly precious; an inch of kesi is worth an inch of gold. This is the best choice!"

"Hey, Lady Liu, come and judge! Which one should we choose?"

Liu Wenying rubbed her throbbing temples and had someone take out two soft satin swaddling clothes from the trunk.

"There are many people at today's banquet. Although the gold and silver threads are luxurious, the stiff material might easily scratch the young prince."

"Why not wrap it in soft satin first, and then wrap it in that gold-plated garment on the outside?"

Before the words were finished, the beaded curtain rustled softly.

The eldest princess entered with her husband. Today, she wore a crimson-purple phoenix-tail skirt woven with gold, and her head was adorned with a full set of filigree and jeweled gold headdress. Her complexion was much better than it had been a month ago.

The crowd greeted in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Consort."

The princess picked up her daughter, and the child giggled, her eyes fixed on the gold hairpin adorning her temple.

The eldest princess, with gentle eyes, chuckled and said, "Little greedy one, who did you take after?"

The prince consort picked up the boy, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, and immediately began to pout and cry. He frantically shook the boy gently, mimicking the actions of wet nurses to soothe him.

After teasing her for a while, the princess noticed Liu Wenying and her brows furrowed slightly.

Recently, she has been taking care of the new mother during her confinement period and preparing for the baby's full-month celebration. She has put in a lot of effort, and she has seen it all.

"Look at your face! Go and rest now, lest word get out that I mistreat my servants."

Liu Wenying lowered her head, intending to politely decline.

The princess abruptly interrupted him, saying, "It's not that I'm worried about you, it's that I'm afraid you'll collapse from exhaustion and won't have anyone to take good care of these two little devils."

Babies under one year old are the most difficult to raise; calling them little devils wouldn't be an exaggeration.

The eldest princess was firm, and ordered the maid beside her, "Take her away to rest, and don't disturb her before the banquet starts."

After saying this, she and the prince consort each took a child and left.

The Empress Dowager had arrived long beforehand and was waiting in the front hall, eagerly anticipating seeing her beloved grandson.

As soon as the princess left, a maid immediately came over.

"Lady Liu, please go and rest. We're here to help."

Liu Wenying was indeed extremely tired.

Since the princess gave birth, she has been taking care of the mother and her two children during the day and keeping an eye on the wet nurses at night to ensure they feed the babies at the designated times, for fear of making a mistake. It has been half a month since she has had a full night's sleep.

Liu Wenying thanked them and intended to return to her residence to rest, but was stopped by a maid.

"There are private rooms right next door, which are for guests to rest. The banquet hasn't started yet, so there aren't many guests. Lady Liu, why don't you go there to rest? It will save you from running back and forth, and we can find you promptly if anything comes up."

Liu Wenying thought about it and agreed. The Princess's residence was so large that it would take quite a while to go back and forth.
